It was almost noon, and when Jiang Tian was busy making lemon tea, Xiao Ding came back.

"How? Have you inquired clearly? Fang Sheng can marry a wife, who else is in the family, and does he have a favorite and a partner? ”

Xiao Ding didn't rush back to Jiang Tian's words, but rushed to the table and hurriedly poured a glass of water into his stomach.

"Jiang Tian, I have inquired clearly, Fang Sheng, nearly 25 years old, lives in Chunyu Lane in the western suburbs of the imperial city, because he has to take care of his sick father all the year round, he has not yet married a wife, and he also supports his three younger brothers by being a shopkeeper in Fumanyuan......"

Xiao Ding said that he had made it clear and turned his head to look at Jiang Tian.

"Jiang Tian, I have walked around his house twice, his family is indeed very poor, you still persuade Xiao Tao to die for him! If she really marries, she will inevitably suffer from poverty, and poor couples will mourn everything. ”

Xiao Ding just finished the last sentence here.

Xiao Tao appeared outside the door with a jar of honey.

looked at the two people in the room with some puzzlement, "What poor couple mourns?" What are you talking about? ”

When Xiao Ding saw that the person who came was Xiao Tao, he opened his mouth to persuade her to give up Fang Sheng.

But at the moment he spoke, Jiang Tian grabbed the conversation, "Oh, we're talking about it." ”

Saying that, Jiang Tian lowered his eyes and saw the jar in her hand, "Xiao Tao, you came just in time, quickly put the honey in." ”

In winter, the weather is cold, and the honey has already formed a lump.

Seeing this, Xiao Tao turned around and went to the kitchen to get a spoon.

While she was leaving, Jiang Tian lowered his voice and emphasized to Xiao Ding not to reveal the matter of her asking him to investigate Fang Sheng.

Although Xiao Ding was a little puzzled, he still nodded.

After a while, Xiao Tao entered the house with a spoonful.

"Get more in, otherwise the tea will be too sour and won't taste good." After Jiang Tian tried half a sip, he felt that the taste was wrong.

It's also the first time she's brewing lemon tea here.

It was only yesterday when she went out on the street that she found out that there were lemons too.

But people here call lemons sour fruits.

It is generally used to cook chicken.

I didn't know it could also make tea.

After Xiao Tao added another spoonful of honey to it, Jiang Tian felt that the taste was just right.

After a few seconds of silent mental counting.

Calculating the most suitable temperature, she removed the teapot from the boiler.

Xiao Tao couldn't wait for the temperature to dissipate, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, "It's delicious, sweet and sour." ”

Seeing her exaggerated expression, Xiao Ding also took a cup of tea and took a sip, "Indeed, the taste is okay, but he personally doesn't like this sweet and sour taste." ”

"Jiang Tian, let's sell sour fruit tea in the future!" Xiao Tao said excitedly that she had been in business with Jiang Tian for so long and realized that sour fruit tea would sell well.

Jiang Tian has this intention, but she still has to calculate the cost.

After all, sugar is not cheap in Qingxuan, and honey is three times as much as sugar.

Just now, a small spoonful will cost ten cents, and if you sell it in large quantities, you don't know if it can make a small profit but sell it quickly, or you can pay it upside down.

As it turned out, Jiang Tian's concerns were right.

The shopkeeper gave her a specific amount after calculating it.

It takes 200 cups a day to start making a profit, and every 10 cups can earn about 5 cents.

"Owner, the cost of fifty cups of soy milk in our store is only 10 yuan, and every cup sold can earn 1 yuan, this sour fruit tea tastes good, but the cost is too high, and not everyone likes this kind of sweet and sour tea, so it's better to forget it."

The shopkeeper asked tentatively.

When Xiao Tao heard this, his face was full of frustration.

I thought that she had found a way to make a lot of money, but it turned out that she just thought about it too much.

Also, you have to add so much honey to a pot of tea.

Even if you replace it with sugar, it is not cost-effective.

Jiang Tian could see what she was thinking.

frowned and thought for a while, "The shopkeeper, if we raise the price of each cup of tea by two cents, and sell a cup for seven cents, how much do you think we will lose!" ”

"A cup of 7 penny! (7 dollars a cup!) Everyone around was amazed.

I thought Jiang Tian was wrong, but she nodded very seriously, "I'm not joking with everyone, a cup is 7 yuan!" ”

"Jiang Tian, if you don't forget it, you can buy two and a half servings of stinky tofu for 7 yuan. A bowl and a half of braised chicken offal, three eggs or two large meat buns, ordinary people even have to think about it for a long time to buy a bun on weekdays, and no one will be willing to spend 7 yuan to buy a cup of sour fruit tea. ”

Xiao Tao was very aware of the recent prices, and persuaded Jiang Tian as soon as he opened his mouth.

Jiang Tian waved his hand, "I didn't say that it was sold in a restaurant, I meant-"

"What! Open a teahouse?! After everyone heard what Jiang Tian said clearly, their eyes widened in shock.

"Hmm." Jiang Tian nodded.

It was also the shopkeeper who reminded her just now.

Their small fried shop is the same as the target customers of Fu Man Yuan.

It's all small profits and quick turnover.

At present, in order to reach an agreement with Donglu Ziheng as soon as possible, she has resold a series of production methods such as tofu, soy milk, bean curd, and stinky tofu to Zhou Ke.

The design drawings of the oven, the production method of roast chicken, roast duck and sold to the boss.

Whether it is the Zhou family or the Cong family, she can't compete with financial, manpower, and material resources.

Especially Zhou Ke, not only can read, but also do business quite well.

I heard that during the Chinese New Year, he took advantage of the New Year's greetings to win a few large orders for the sale of stinky tofu.

The profiteer from the old man was worse than him, but their shop has been delivering goods to various families in the imperial city these days, and they also sell a lot of roast chicken and roast duck.

Waiting for the end of the year, if the internal organs of chickens and ducks are not available, the Jiang family's small fried shop will not have the assistance of special snacks.

Relying solely on the sale of steamed buns, the business of soy milk and other things will inevitably be affected.

She calculated that the remaining soybeans at present, in addition to the amount required in the store for half a year, raise the price by 10% and sell them before the beginning of spring, and she can only make a net profit of 100,000 taels of silver at most.

Counting the silver money handed over to Dong Lu Ziheng on the previous two occasions.

It is still about 150,000 taels short of the agreed 500,000 taels of silver.

According to the contract, the 500,000 taels of silver should be deducted from the silver money prepaid by Dong Lu Ziheng, the freight and the rent of the store......

She still has to make up about 200,000 taels of silver so far......

And she only wants to do business for the short term.

Therefore, she didn't plan to make any more to sell the fire, the goose, the fritters, the cakes, the cakes, etc.

At this time, it is time to turn to the opening of a tea house that sells all kinds of dim sum, snacks and tea fruits.

In the dead of night, Xiao Tao came out of the Jiang Tian house.

After repeatedly confirming that she really wanted to open a teahouse, her mood became much brighter.

It's so hard to do business.

However, Jiang Tian said that he would make money, so he said that he could really make money.

The next day, just after three o'clock.

Xiao Ding informed Dong Lu Ziheng that Jiang Tian was going to open a teahouse.

He didn't even ask why Jiang Tian turned to running a teahouse, and directly wrote a letter for him to hand over to the housekeeper.

After less than an hour, the housekeeper personally took Jiang Tian and others to visit the site selection of the teahouse.

"Jiang Tian, this shop used to be a winery, and it was a coincidence, the old mother of the owner of the previous rented winery was seriously ill, and he moved his family out of the imperial city, and the winery was vacant. You can now call in a few craftsmen to renovate it, there are books on the stage, there are stools around it, and you can get a bathhouse in the backyard......"
